Four4ths veteran Michael Mcnabb opens the electronic music floodgates with a brilliant 5-song EP proving once again that he’s pulling from a bottomless bag of dance-able magic.

The aptly titled “Dirty Nights” EP begins with a dark and sinister track entitled “Ambiance”, which features a grimy distorted bass groove with side-chained pads that combined throw you right into the deep dark alleys of EDM that only the brave and faithful shall pass through.

Wasting no time, #2 is the title track “Dirty Nights”….foreboding builds and menacing bass will circuit-break the need for lights yet again, as Mcnabb takes you on a journey through the dark cooridors of the mind…close your eyes and let go on this one.  When you’re ready for the funky thirds-based distorted bass grooves rocking all over a straight-up kick/snare (can’t go wrong with that formula, right?), track #3 “Night Breed” is where less becomes SO much more.  Mcnabb truly understands the value of selecting sounds wisely and concentrating on the tracks overall groove.  With a pad interlude reminiscent of Moby’s “Go”, you can’t resist wanting to find a spot for this track in your set.

Mcnabb keeps  the pulse rapid with a solid electro-houser entitled “The Future”.  But yet, he can’t just stop there:  Track #5 “Three AM” is a HUGE progressive-infused electro-house masterpiece just itching for big room discovery.  It’s almost difficult to define it in one word other than “big”, because the mix on this one completely fills the room, proving Mcnabb’s well-versed ears are giving him a quality edge in spatial positioning of individual sounds in the overall mix.  But arguably ever more important than production skills, this is that track that the listener/dancer/partier gets completely immersed in, losing all sense of time.

Wait, there’s more?  Yes.  As if (5) solid tracks weren’t more than enough to satisfy your fresh tune fix on this EP, M-Toxin’s alpha dog Seth Vogt adds a huge breaks remix interpretation of the title track “Dirty Nights”.  Vogt once again demonstrates that he has roots firmly planted in the legendary Orlando electronic music scene, and specifically has an ear for many of the sounds and song structures pioneered there in the early 90s.  However, this interpretation sounds FAR from dated — We’ve grown to expect a fresh clean sound from Seth every time he works his magic, and he doesn’t disappoint.  The key in this remix is the storytelling aspect — A lot of EDM listeners want to be taken on a journey….and Seth expertly pilots this spacecraft into a wormhole born of the breakbeat heavens.  Translated: this should not be missing from your essential breaks collection.
